The Elongated Square Pyramid
The elongated square pyramid is the 8th Johnson solid (J8). It has 9 vertices, 16 edges, and 9 faces (4 equilateral triangles and 5 squares).
The elongated square pyramid can be constructed by attaching a square pyramid to a cube.
Attaching another square pyramid to the opposite end of the cube produces the elongated square bipyramid.
